MOSS CON 2013
On Saturday, October 19, 2013 we held our third annual Model Show and Competition -- MOSS CON 2013. We were thankful that once again The White House Theatre graciously donated the use of their West Wing for our event. We had 38 modelers from Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas enter 154 models into the competition! It was a great turn-out and we are thankful for all who came to support MOSS CON!
The special theme award for this year's show was MO' Muscle: Famous Muscle Cars. We had a good number of entries for this special category.
Once again this year our goal for MOSS CON was to raise money for the IPMS/USA Supporting the Troops Initiative. In 2012, we were able to send the show proceeds and donations to this excellent program, and help those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom! If you would like more information about the Support the Troops program, please visit this webpage or go to the Models For Troops tab.

Through the 2013 donations, sponsorships and the show proceeds -- after Administrative Fees -- we were able to raise $1,000.00 which we will donate to this excellent cause!
Thanks to all who attended and supported MOSS CON 2013 and made it another successful show! We truly appreciate you all!
See you at MOSS CON 2014!
